Note 240 — Book VII.
John Beames translation
“To his children” generally, according to the Reg. Maj. c. 36. With respect, however, to the text of Glanville, Mr. Selden collects, from the Laws of Henry the first and the Assise of Clarendon, that the Heirs inherited Chattels as well as Lands, as late as the time of Henry the second, and that the Law was changed about the time of King John, by some Act of Parliament not now to be found. (Selden’s Tit. of Honor, part 2. c. 5. s. 21.)
